If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - a rare effort to address inequality of power.
“A large majority of voters backing Nigel Farage also want stronger working rights. Yet he and his MPs voted against every item in the bill.”
But of course they did.

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP.
But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.
He said it was a “hoax”.
He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.
Why?

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

This is also true about RFK Junior
Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...
